Productivity

I have mentioned before how reading other women's blogs can be a tad depressing. Why? It's hard not to realize everything I don't do while I see these amazing blogs. "Today I built a house!" Well- not that intense, but you know what I mean.

With all that being said, I think that subconsciously motivated me to be productive today!! My boys and I have been sick all week and weekend, so our house was needing to be cleaned. The dishes were piling up and the laundry was backed up due to a couple loads of just vomit clothes! hooray. Anyway, it's only (or already- depending on what world you live in) 2:30 and the kids are both napping. Because this is the closest thing I have to a journal (I know- another thing to work on), I want to REMEMBER what helped get me motivated... because I know I'll need the reminder tonight, tomorrow, and 10 yrs down the road.

Here is what I've done so far :)

Dishes (Ben helped). But I still have another sink full to get going.

LAUNDRY! Ah- laundry.

The two loads on the top are to do laundry, the dark are the folded, and there is a load in the washer and dryer. I also put the two ALREADY folded clothes of the boys away (not pictured).

ROLLS!

I'm actually most proud of these. Grant helped. We made these for lunch. I thought he may be more inclined to eat his lunch if he made the bread himself. I'll do another post later about that.

While I still have a lot more to do, I'm feeling good about what has been done. I could stop and focus on the things I have NOT done (like shower, put MY clothes away, clean the bathrooms, vacuum the floor, go through things in the garage for a yard sale this weekend... the list never ends).

If you're reading this and need motivation to do ANYTHING on your to do list, here it is! I DID IT (or I'm starting to do it)! That means you can too.

But I'm sure if you're reading this, you are one of the moms I would love to be like :)

Oh wow--you're AMAZING! (The rolls look far tooooo tasty!) I can tell that you haven't been reading my blogs. (They would actually make you feel fantastic about all that you do!) 'Loved your conference recap! (And mail me a roll...please.)

Rochelle, you are amazing!!! Jason seriously has banned me from reading some blogs because I get off feeling so depressed!!! So, I know how you feel, but I think you are incredible. You just aren't one to flaunt it like some may!! Thank you for being an amazingly talented, humble friend.

lol. you're funny! I'm sure you're better than you realize! or More like his wife than you may know! You're doing great! Don't think that the other mom's from other blogs are doing any better than you...most likely they are just like you!!!
